SHEEP LOST IN SNOW.
POSITION IN SOUTHLAND.
THE WORST NOW. OVER. •
All the sheep that" were snow-bound in the recent' of snow in the back country in Southland have now been liberated, and have been removed to the lower levels. A resident of that district stated on Friday that they were now over mo worst so far as the snow was concerned. ".AH the sheep are now out," he continued, " and are doing not so badly. There is always a certain amount of aftermath from a snowfall as the sheep eat each other's wool and become wool-bound when they are turned out on other feed. Things are not so bad as they were painted at first, and the sheep have come through the ordeal in a remarkable m«*t' ner. It is astonishing how they, existed through the peilod they were snow-bound, arid since liberation they have done well. There is no way of estimating this losses at present, and xunholders will have to wait until the shearing tallies come in. " Perhaps it is just as well," he coneluded, " that we cannot ascertain our losses until then, as they might cause us considerable worry." ?
